The document discusses a project at Indiana University that utilizes augmented reality (AR) technologies to enhance foreign language teaching, specifically in a beginner's Spanish course. It outlines the methodology, including the use of Aurasma to create interactive learning experiences, and assesses the impact on student vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension skills through surveys and usage statistics. Future directions include refining video design and incorporating advanced AR features like 360-degree videos.
